My name is Heather Marcoux.

ABOUT
ME

I’ve been working in media for a decade, covering everything from murder to celebrity dogs.

A former television journalist turned freelance writer, I wrote for some of Canada’s top broadcasters before moving back to Red Deer, Alberta, in 2014 and taking up freelance pet writing.

My freelance journey mirrors my life, so after the pet gigs came the baby assignments. I love both kinds of writing and both kinds of parenting.

Today my words are found online and on newstands, in such varied publications as Mother.ly and Dogster magazine.

I’m the founder of biography.pet and the voice behind the Pets From The Internet podcast.
